So, my older has always been smaller than me and has never had a problem pointing that out to me. Well, I've lost a little over 50 pounds, and in that time she has gained some. She will say things like "you're wasting away" or "lose anymore and you will disappear" but she says it in a happy voice. She has been calling me skinny and on more than one occasion I told her I do not want to be called skinny, I am getting fit. So ofcourse she just did it again "getting mighty skinny there". Sooooo trying to get on my nerves on purpose huh? OK.

    Oh, definitely.
    She wants you to fail.
    And she secretly wants your man, too.

    I feel like you are seeking drama.

    Ignore or confront.

    It is only an insult if you let it be one. If we start worrying about what people feel about our journey in weight loss and health it is no longer our journey..

    Just shows you that people make comments when you are bigger AND when you are smaller... People just like to hear themselves talk sometimes, just leave it at that. :laugh:

    People used to use skinny as an insult to me. i was in fact extremely small and extremely unhealthy. people would say awful things, and meant them to hurt me. i even had a complete stranger tell me i needed to eat a cheese burger. i found people to be very rude.

    your sister sounds like she is just trying to irritate you. if you stop letting it effect you she will stop saying those things because if youre trying to piss someone off and it doesnt work then why keep doing it?

    I'm shocked at how mean she is being to you. She needs a smack down. No one should have to put up with such verbal abuse.

    Why don't you just ask her? How are a bunch of internet strangers going to be able to tell?

    You should tattle on her to mom/dad.

    If one of my siblings did this to me, I would punch them in the face. How dare they!
